Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 480300 when importing or exporting tissue, towel, or napkin stock designed for household or sanitary uses. This includes products like large rolls of paper towels or bulk sheets of napkin stock used in restaurants or homes.
This code specifically covers cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers in rolls wider than 36 cm or as rectangular sheets with one side exceeding 36 cm when unfolded. It's important to differentiate this from HS-6 4802, which includes smaller or different types of paper products.
When considering HS-6 480300, note that it applies to products primarily intended for sanitary uses, unlike HS-6 480400, which covers other paper products not specifically designated for hygiene. Understanding the end-use is crucial for correct classification.
If you're shipping products like disposable table covers or large rolls of kitchen paper, this is the correct classification. Ensure you check the dimensions and intended use to avoid misclassification.
